Stedman</a>.&nbsp; The book takes place right after World War I and is a psychological study of one couple&#39;s decision and the ripples that it creates in the world.</p>
<p>Tom Sherbourne, a decorated war hero, returns from World War I forever changed by the horrors of war, but his honor is still intact.&nbsp; He is so respected and trusted by authorities that he is given the job of lighthouse keeper on a small island about a half day&rsquo;s journey off of Australia&rsquo;s western shore named Janus Rock. On one of his visits to the mainland he meets a brave and strong-willed young girl named Isabel and falls in love.&nbsp; They marry and start their life together on the Island.&nbsp;</p>
